VIEWFINDER 2009
Viewfinder is a multi-site event that challenges artists to search for and promote their view about their place and experiences using unusal objects, discarded machines and methods.
Co-founder artist/curator Adam Lewczuk said that ‘there are twelve Sunshine Coast and Brisbane based artists involved with Viewfinder, and together they will locate a variety of artworks in places that will surprise people and hopefully trigger intrigue and discussion’.
Viewfinder points out that contemporary arts can happen without high-tech machinerary. The artist will employ a range of old and discarded materials and technologies. Machines such as slide, overhead and movie projectors; video and tape players; colidoscopes; and viewfinders.
‘We are planning large formate night projections, several installations, sound based art, an art market and more’, said Lewczuk
‘The group is particularly interested in delivering events at non-traditional venues such as multi-deck car parks, alleyways, transit centres, basketball halls and shop fronts. This event aims to reminds us to value our past and focus attention on our basic right for access to places, vistas that are important to our culture. As we are moved to a homoginised way of life Viewfinder provides resistant. It promotes difference and encourages us to expect and respect opinions, freedom and tolerance’, said Lewczuk.
This is the group’s third event following a successful wallpaper-based exhibition at the University of the Sunshine Coast Gallery in March. The group’s initiatives encourage links and experimentation across artforms between artists, curators, researchers, technicians and fabricators.
Viewfinder runs from 16 – 23 May, with a closing event planned for 6.00pm, Saturday 23 May at the multi-deck carpark, Ormah Avenue, Caloundra
